Dee-Lite, made up of Lady Miss Kier (primarily vocals), Supa DJ Dmitry (keyboards, guitar), and Jungle DJ Towa Tei (keyboards, turntables, programming). On this song, they had the legendary Bootsy Collins from Parliament Funkadelic on bass, Fred Wesley on trombone, Maceo Parker on sax, and Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest performing the rap. Interesting piece of trivia: DJ Dmitry is still the only person from the Soviet Union to have earned a gold record in the US (for this song, in fact).

An absolute classic and you two were adorable reacting to it! I grew up loving this as a young teenager, grew up to be a drag queen heavily inspired by the lead singer, met my idol years later, and actually ended up performing this song with the Lady Miss Kier herself onstage. (you were correct: Deee-LIte is the band's name). If you've done much looking into them, the band is incorrectly labelled a "one-hit-wonder." They came from the same NYC club scene as RuPaul in the late 1980's to 1990's and a majority of their amazing work remained in clubland and later in the early rave scene. Let me know if you're still interested in a bit more of them and I'd be happy to school you! Deee-groovy!

It's from an old 70s funk tune

[@martinmulvey790]

OutKast Hey ya! Your vibe all the way!!!!!!

Yessssssss please! 🔥💚

It's been said before, this song is the moment the 80s became the 90s

[@jeremiahbohatkiewicz1670]

We wore this tape out in high school in ‘91 “ We don’t need a clique to make our clock tick our clique is the world the world is our clique!”

[@frankvigliarolo9800]

In 1989, I went to the ROXY in NYC for the first time. The dj started playing this song, the crowd went nuts, and I swear he kept playing this song Over and over all night long. I then found out the DJ was Towa Teri, from Dee-Lite. Six months later this song took off and was a top 10 hit. Thanks for playing & reacting to Groove is in the Heart.

[@mandystory4275]

Wow what a cool story.

[@imseekinmore]

I was there then too. The Roxy, Warehouse, Palladium, being a club kid starting 1985 was awesome. Smoke also meant the were smoking hot & super funky. Not as much or only a drug ref

[@craiggillett5985]

Oh yes. The Roxy!!

[@craiggillett5985]

@@imseekinmore what was the one in the old church ?? I can’t remember !! 😱

[@garyonbroadway1919]

WOW! It was Memorial Day weekend '89, if I'm not mistaken. I was there! With Linda Evangelista on the legendary Roxy swing, flying on psilocybin. I get chills remembering those nights. Dee-Lite then played Wigstock in Thompkins Square Park on Labor Day '89, and Junior Vasquez opened Sound Factory shortly after that. The GOAT!

[@kaniala6817]

Genius of Love by the Tom Tom Club from the 80's were quite the funky beat too!! That song killed it in the day!!

[@MChantal76]

OMG, I love this song! :D

[@doloresbriseno2567]

Early 90s NYC was so much fun! This brings back so many memories, Glad you guys enjoy their music!

[@rayseva1278]

They guy at the end...blowing the party-favor thing....is the GREAT/LEGENDARY bassist--Bootsy Collins!

[@redchick5278]

Amber is making me smile at how happy she is!!! She is a whole mood!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Kim-hc5si]

This song was EVERYWHERE. We had a bit of 60s style revival back then and it was so fun! ❤️

[@shinerdrinker9249]

And could be everywhere again... tomorrow!

[@craiggillett5985]

Remember when flares and platform shoes came back in around 92/3

[@Kim-hc5si]

@@craiggillett5985 Oh yes…I was all up in the middle of it. 🤣

[@valeriebeacham441]

I had a pair of hot pants!!

[@wayneanderson-dx2pk]

Absolutely one of my favorite songs when it was out! Lady Kier was unbelievable! Dee Lite was way ahead of their time. Everyone that hears this song the first time freaks out!

[@carameldiva5131]

🎉🎉I used to LOVE this song as a kid!! It's so fun!!!🎉🎉

[@Uplcms]

GenX here...Every party in college this song played multiple times. And NEVER got old. Because....the GROOVE IS IN THE HEAAAAAARRRRRT! It forces you to dance.

[@jimk2099]

If you like this, try "I Feel for You" by Chaka Khan.

[@afn3899]

Oh, good call! I forgot about that one

[@Manup2day]

Feel for you. Soul diva herself Chaka Khan. Yes please 🙏

[@BobSurunkel]

Yes!! Love that!

[@yellowpsychopath]

Perhaps as well as the original version by Prince?

[@GreenMother1]

Give me Something Good! Chaka

[@Danandrea919]

This is one of those songs that when it comes on you stop whatever you're doing and groove 😊

[@Sabrina79]

This song came out in 1990, when I was in the fifth or sixth grade. I first heard it on the radio at a classmate's sleepover birthday party and fell for it SO HARD. 😂 I still freak out when I hear it on the radio! 🤩🤪😎

[@samiamten2352]

Her reaction to this song was absolutely adorable! she just got so happy. : )

[@rozequinn1519]

90s song but done with a 60s vibe. The word is "trippy"

[@Rye_Toast]

I was in my early 20s when this song came out and I was a bartender at one of the biggest dance clubs, this song just transports me back. MAN I loved the 90s!

[@Eskey__]

Absolutely on of my favorite songs. I’ll bump this song every time it comes up.

[@foglight11]

This song still slaps. When I first heard it I thought how silly, but couldn't stop moving. I haven't stopped listening to it.

[@__-bc4bs]

Quality shit is timeless, James Brown on Soultrain with trippy 90s vibes. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🎸

[@brian52763]

Im not sure if you have done anything by Salt N Peppa, but you should check them out!

[@ronpotts6385]

Push it GOOD!

[@brianlogsdon4824]

P-push it real good

[@jdfilko]

This is how this song made us feel in the early 90's, and this is how it SHOULD make you feel. Great reaction to a great fun song.

[@laurenkwh]

Deee-Lite was my jam in late high school/early college. They’re considered a one hit wonder, but there were many great party/dance tracks on their records.

[@jenniferpedersen8920]

Please for Female Friday listen to Til' Tuesday " Voices Carry". Then for another reaction on a different day, please get Amber to react to Skid Row " I Remember You" The Official Video. Y'all will love it!!

[@kenransom560]

Throw 'Til Tuesday's "What About Love" on that list too ..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3mzg6eGj9yGhKs

[@robb9395]

Yes! I'm in "Voices Carry!"

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

Fun fact: I do a great rendition of "Voices Carry". 😁😁😁

[@pauljohm]

Anything by Aimee is PERFECT!! "Coming Up Close" "Lucky".

[@corycraft3701]

I Touch Myself by the Divynls

[@anthonyv1719]

need to do the icons of the early 90's women - LISA STANSFIELD "Been Around the World" and SADE "Smooth Operator" you will be fans forever.

[@connieb4372]

Sade is where it's at.. now that is some good music. Give Sade a listen guys.. you won't regret it.. great choice for female Friday. If you want to go way back, another great artist and song would be Carly Simon performing a live version of We'll Marry from the early to mid 70s. Great channel.. thanks for the groove!

[@zoesmith9682]

Yes!! Lisa stansfield is an icon.

[@gwillis01]

Another vote for "Smooth Operator" by Sade

[@tripsmore1]

Smooth Operator came out in '84 not the 90's

[@jacquelinewesson1202]

Both are on my permanent play list , love Sade

[@sheldondrake8935]

I can't imagine hearing this for the first time!!!!!!!!

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

Wow in 1992, I was a dj torn between gangsta hip hop and me wanting to mix everything. This song made me as happy as you are now listening to it. Your smiles was exactly my own. It was then I left that whole scene of guns and hardcore and started mixing dance. Never looked back. Thanks for the memories!

[@martinmulvey790]

Ok B-52s. Love shack ! For you young lady!

[@chestrockwell8328]

Deeee-Lite has to be the craziest ensemble ever. Phunkadelic Royalty Bootsy, Lady Miss Kier...both from Ohio, an Asian DJ, a Russian DJ and Q-tip quest rapping.

[@slimlouis6441]

Born in Ohio. She lived in Pittsburgh, Virginia Beach, DC and NYC.

[@jasonszabo9203]

I'm surprised Jordan didn't recognize Q's rapping

[@kevinhenderson5928]

No one ever mentions jazz great Maceo Parker on the sax! He even walks through near the end.

[@ArthurShedsJackson]

This song is timeless brilliance!

[@cryptess]

This is the last song my sister in law posted on Facebook a couple of years ago almost to the day before going peacefully (perhaps groovily) in her sleep, just short of 39 😭💖

[@armchairgravy8224]

We had more fun in the 90s. This song is proof.

[@shariwelch8760]

I know I did! Every time this song came on at a party, the whole house would be dancing.

[@bubbavonmax4211]

I heard this song at a disco in the Philippines while still in the service. I've heard bits and pieces of it on TV shows since but this was the first time to see the video. Unfortunately for me these days the funkiest thing from me comes after eating asparagus. Fun video and did make me dance in my chair a bit. Enjoy you two very much and looking forward to the next reaction.

[@rodneywhite5904]

Philippines was great

[@javiersp]

There are songs that no matter the country or decade, once they start rolling everybody does dance them.

[@misskittyclub47]

I had a blast dancing to this song. It's psychedelic.

[@giogio177]

33 yrs old and this still sounds awesome!

[@radwolf76]

A couple of months after this song had hit the airwaves (and was on heavy rotation on MTV), I was getting a dental procedure that required me to be on some HEAVY nitrous oxide. The radio station that the dentist's office was playing played this song, and I started seeing the colors from the music video's background.

[@hollywood8309]

This song has everything rolled in one!

[@cathylee4234]

Just think I am almost 60 and we were dancing to this in the clubs in my early 20s .Boy does time fly .

[@Reani71]

The mixing of all those different genres (rap, funk, disco, house, you name it) is actually what this song is about. The message is that it never matters which genre a song is because groove is in the heart. It means free you mind and open up for new experiences.

[@pastorofmuppets13]

Prediction: Amber is going to rock this song at her first post-pregnancy party!

[@USGrant-rr2by]

What do you call her dance moves.............FREAKIN AWESOME!

[@paulaboyd9743]

I have loved this song for over 30 years! I played it at a friend's wedding disco several years ago (i was the DJ) and a crowd danced around their handbags, taking turns in the centre. Never get tired of hearing it. Perfect song. ❤

[@JD_ATX]
